In Paris, Texas, a police officer with the Paris Police Department – Officer Derek Belcher – was caught on video, including his own body cam, taunting the father of a young man who was shot by police several months earlier. The father was upset that his suicidal son was shot in the back by police officers, resulting in paralyzation. Apparently, the father had been expressing his displeasure with the Paris Police Department, including by “flipping” them off, which as I’ve discussed in prior videos, is a constitutionally protected activity under the First Amendment. Following the release of the footage, Officer Belcher was placed on administrative leave.

NOTE: this is Paris TX PD – not Sherman TX PD. Apparently did not happen in Sherman, despite what the article said.
First thing out of the dad's/FACK COPs mouth was my daughter drinking? Not omg is my daughter hurt.SMH PEOPLE SAY THAT THERE'S GOOD COPS B.S THEY ALL STICK TOGETHER SO THAT MEANS ALL COPS 'R' BAD .. FACTS
I guess nobody told the Martinsburg PD about the WV statute that prohibits the officer from being the complainant on "profane swearing." Imagine that?🤷
This police officer is obviously not a true texan. A texan knows only a coward shoot someone in the back.
Coward cop. Tell your son I said hi.
Paris Police only take complaints from their Victims and must be in writing and signed with ID information because all complaints are given to the offending officer and their lawyer before the Police department can conduct an investigation. https://www.paristexas.gov/120/Your-Feedback. They're hiring with a $10,000 bonus for Thugs with verified notches in their guns.
This is a clear attempt to suppress his First Amendment rights through police intimidation.
So it's lawful for officers to use "fighting words"
That's Tx.Piggy's VERY FORTUNATE dude was only picking up phone & not "EQUALIZER"!!!
Dam SHAME, A FEW,well MORE than 'a few',ROTTEN apples RUIN A WHOLE PROFESSION!!!
Shortv Derek Belcher was fired as a result of the public reaction to this video.

A father should unconditionally love their child. He is just a good father
That interaction was an awesome demonstrated of disgusting behavior by the cop. And he really enjoyed poking the bear. What is wrong with police in the USA?
How was that the case? His son was shot in the back?
🐷🥓🥓🐷
Pig! Get that pig! Somebody, get that pig!
Beyond sickening of hearing…."Paid administrative leave"…..paid vacation for breaking the law that anyone else goes to jail for !!!
This cop (like so many are these day) is a piece of shit and needs to be doing something like sweeping a floor at a factory, he doesn't have the mental capacity to be in the position he's in. Just shameful
Thanks again
That was disgusting in so many ways, but the parting shot by that cop was outrageous! What a piece of $h!t. 💩
Your videos expose the corrupt cops because of their badge and their gun it's amazing how they're not shot themselves because of irate citizens who've been wronged by the cops who can say and do anything they want this is wrong and every dog has its day and every corrupt cop will soon find out.
id follow him home after his job
If he had done something about it, as the cop told him to do when he said "it's just me and you, blah blah", then he would have been complying with the cop's orders and shouldn't have gotten in trouble for anything he did.
You can tell this pig cop got bullied his entire life. Now that he’s a cop he uses the badge to Bully others.
The coward baited him to step out than got scared lol
This is one POS cop. He is despicable saying "Tell your son we said hello". Dirt bag. ☘
10:26 When a-holes collide, neither of them should be police officers!
1:50 That's police vernacular for "vacation."
"you're gonna get the finger"
Absolute legend
Cop should be fired this is disgusting
That “cop” got bullied and picked on his entire life. Now he’s got a badge and he thinks his balls are the size of boulders. Dude is an absolute coward and deserves nothing but the worst. What a disgusting piece of sh*t
“YOU’RE GONNA GET THE FANGER” 😂
One of the most unprofessional D-bags ever. 😮
🛑🛑🛑SHAME ON THAT SO CALLED PITY OF AN OFFICER 👮♀️ So ashamed so bloody ashamed of him to say that about his son tell your son hi he is evil he has an evil heart shame on him shame on him shame shame shame on him ‼️‼️‼️‼️I am so ashamed of the people that represent the uniform‼️‼️‼️‼️ I’m sorry I ever wore one…. I wanted to uphold and make a difference treat people the way I want to be treated and one little person in the midst of so many bad ones it’s sure hard to make a difference but God knows and someday they won’t get away with it they will be judged accordingly 🎺🎺🎺
Don’t worry, he needs to keep acting like that. One day he’ll meet a loser that has nothing to lose.
This is the epitome of abusing your power. This cop should feel the pain he gave to that guys son for eternity. Cops like this just give any other cop a bad name. This cop would have never been in this situation if he didn't have a badge and gun, what an absolute disgrace to America. Biggest pussy cop ever. Hope he gets anything coming for him. He deserves the worst and but the worst.
No please don't take your clothes off! What a prick, he needs to not be a copperhead. he needs to learn how to be respectful of others didn't he mama teach him better!
Why people just don't stand?? Is just another dude whit a uniform that all
At one time I think police were more or less polite to citizen's that they served.Not any more.They do not know how to deescalate situations and actually do not want to.It seems they cause moe problems then resolving them
If the cops job was to get out if their unit and offer help to citizens who would enforce the laws not to mention police observing their oath and another fine example of none of the above happening.
This little toad of a cop would have got such a asswhopping back in the day, and deserves it.
There are monsters among us masquerading as human. This cop has no humanity in him. He is also extremely immature. He is definitely not normal.
That officer is a disgusting human being. I don't know the circumstances of how that man's son got shot, if he was fleeing police or if it was in a struggle, but either way the officer is taunting this man. He is behaving as if he shot the man for pure sport. This officer needs to be relieved of his duties. The fact that he's on paid administrative leave also isn't a good sign.
